Its My Party

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to,
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry too if it happened to you.

Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone,
(Johnny has gone.)
But Judy left the same time.
Why was he holding her hand,
When he's supposed to be mine?

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to,
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry too if it happened to you.

Play all my records, keep dancin' all night,
(Dancing all night.)
But leave me alone for a while.
Till Johnny's dancin' with me,
I've got no reason to smile.

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to,
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry too if it happened to you.

[Instrumental break.]

Judy and Johnny just walked through the door,
(Walked through the door.)
Like a queen with her king.
Oh, what a birthday surprise,
Judy's wearin' his ring!

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to,
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry too if it happened to you.

Oh-oh-oh-oh, it's my party, and I'll cry if I want to,
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
[Fades.}
You would cry too if it happened to you.
